Is this wiki still current for Noodle (0.7.1)? Do these same instructions apply for installing VMPlayer by itself?

yes, still current for Noodle 0.7.1. Still not too sure about the requirement for 'chmod 660 /dev/vmmon', though. What's the reason for that, as opposed to the 'chmod 600' for the rest of the nodes created by the script in /dev?-jf 05:51, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe chmod 660 is needed for allowing adding some user who will monitor /dev/vmmon to vmware group.Romashka 09:32, 20 February 2006 (EET)

I had problems compiling kernel modules for vmware 5.0.5 (i think was gcc guilty there - i had 4.0.3 instead 3.x) - It complained about network modules - could not compile due some error.
After upgraded to latest version - all went smooth - without installing other gcc version - (gcc 4.0.3-3)Suw Wed Mar 29 02:07:31 EEST 2006

Cannot compile modules for 2.6.20

* Solved with ABS's PKGBUILD. Thanks to all.

I cannot compile VMware-workstation-5.5.3-34685 modules for 2.6.20 ARCH kernel, with the vmware-any-any-update101.tar.gz and executing runme.pl:
